No child is too young to play and therefore to engage in engineering, even though it is of a primitive kind. We all did so as children ourselves, when we devised our own toys and games - and sometimes even imaginary friends to enjoy them with us. The idea of playfulness is embedded in engineering through the concepts of invention and design. Not that engineering is trivial; rather, the heart of the activity is to give imagination its freedom to dream and turn those dreams into reality. Children do experience the essence of engineering in their earliest activities, yet there is seldom any recognition that this is the case. They may hear the word 'engineer' only in connection with railroad locomotives and have no idea that their playful activity could become a lifelong profession. Engineers themselves are understandably reluctant to equate their professional activity with mere child's play; after all, they studied long and hard to master complicated knowledge of atoms and molecules, stresses and strains, heat and power, current and voltages, bits and bytes. They manipulate equations, not blocks. They use computers for serious modelling and calculation, not for fun and games. They design and build real towers and bridges that test the limits of reliability and safety, not toy ones that totter and fall down with little consequence.
The main point the writer is making in this passage is that ------.
A) man has practised engineering ever since primitive times
B) some children are born to be engineers
C) children and engineers both have the capacity to imagine and create
D) reliability and safety are minor details for the professional engineer
E) any engineering fault in design or calculation does have serious consequences

Flightless birds evolved from flying ancestors; there are about forty species in existence today. The best-known flightless birds are the ostrich, emu, cassowary, rhea and penguins. Most flightless birds evolved in the absence of predators, on islands, and lost the power of flight because they had few enemies. A notable exception, the ostrich, which lives in the African savannas, has claws on its feet to use as a weapon against predators. Two key differences between flying and flightless birds are the smaller wing bones of flightless birds and the absent (or greatly reduced) keel on their breastbone. The keel anchors muscles needed for wing movement. Flightless birds also have more feathers than flying birds.
According to the text, the main reason why flightless birds are unable to fly is that they ...............
A) have more feathers

Obesity is associated with a number of health risks, including Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, and several forms of cancer. The increase in prevalence of obesity among children has led to a rise in obesity-related diseases in young populations. Type 2 diabetes, which was originally considered an adult disease, has increased dramatically in children and adolescents. Other health problems related to being overweight, previously seen mostly in adults, have increased among children, including cardiovascular diseases. While the causes of the rapid increase in obesity during the last decade are complex, researchers agree that the major contributing factor is excessive consumption of calories combined with insufficient physical activity. The ready availability of foods with high caloric content combined with the increased amount of time spent in office work, watching television, or playing computer games, is a relatively recent phenomenon.
It is suggested in the passage that the main causes of obesity are ----.
A) computer games and asthma
B) inactivity and eating food too high in calories
C) watching too much television while eating fast food
D) eating at restaurants rather than eating at home and working too much
